Matthew 17
1 And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁⲥⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲙⲛⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛⲟⲩⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲩ.
2 And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.
ⲃ̅ⲁϥϣⲃⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉⲩⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲡⲉϥϩⲟ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲁⲧⲉ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲏ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲃⲁϣ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ.
3 And Moses and Elijah came before their eyes, talking with him.
ⲅ̅ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲙⲛϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁϥ.
4 And Peter made answer and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will let me, I will make here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛϭⲱ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ. ⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲉⲓⲟ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲛϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲕⲩⲛⲏ. ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ. ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ. ⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ.
5 While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.
ⲉ̅ⲉⲧⲓ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲥⲣϩⲁⲓⲃⲉⲥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲥⲟⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲧⲉⲕⲗⲟⲟⲗⲉ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ. ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲱϥ.
6 And at these words the disciples went down on their faces in great fear.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙⲡⲉⲩϩⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ.
7 And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.
ⲍ̅ⲁϥϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥϫⲱϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲡⲣⲣϩⲟⲧⲉ.
8 And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, but Jesus only.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ.
9 And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ϩⲓⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲣϫⲱ ⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲡϩⲟⲣⲁⲙⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
10 And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?
ⲓ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ.
11 And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϥⲁⲡⲟⲕⲁⲑⲓⲥⲧⲁ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ.
12 But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲏⲗⲓⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ. ⲧⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ.
13 Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ.
14 And when they came to the people, a man went down on his knees to him, saying,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ϣⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϯⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
15 Lord have mercy on my son: for he is off his head, and is in great pain; and frequently he goes falling into the fire, and frequently into the water.

16 And I took him to your disciples, and they were not able to make him well.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲓⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲣⲡⲁϩⲣⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
17 And Jesus, answering, said, O false and foolish generation, how long will I be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come here to me.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲱ ⲧⲅⲉⲛⲉⲁ ⲛⲁⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲟⲙⲉ. ϣⲁⲧⲛⲁⲩ ϯⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ. ϣⲁⲧⲛⲁⲩ ϯⲛⲁⲁⲛⲉⲓⲭⲉ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲥϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲙⲁ.
18 And Jesus gave orders to the unclean spirit, and it went out of him: and the boy was made well from that hour.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁϥⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲇⲁⲓⲙⲱⲛⲓⲟⲛ. ⲁⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲗⲟ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, Why were we not able to send it out?
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲥⲁⲟⲩⲥⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲛⲟϫϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
20 And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

22 And while they were going about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be given up into the hands of men;
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲓⲇⲟⲩ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
23 And they will put him to death, and the third day he will come again from the dead. And they were very sad.

24 And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?

25 He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϣⲱ. ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲏⲓ ⲁⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲇⲟⲕⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ. ⲛⲣⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲩϫⲓⲧⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲛⲛⲓⲙ ⲏ ⲕⲩⲛⲥⲟⲥ. ⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲛⲛⲉⲩϣⲏⲣⲉ. ϫⲛⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲛⲛϣⲙⲙⲟ.
26 And when he said, From other people, Jesus said to him, Then are the sons free.

27 But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.
